1. If you can't resize the window with the sizing gadget I don't know this answere. 2. Define null ("") menues ie. MENUE 3,0,0,"" and then put another one in the 4th position and this will cover the default menues. I found this out in a microsoft basic book for the mac, since they are similar you can get some good info from these.

1. The sizing gadget works but I was hoping for a command I could execute from my startup-sequence. Oh well… 2. I think got a crash, complete with guru when I tried null strings but I'll try it again, maybe I was doing something else wrong.

Aha, from Startup-sequence — try this. Go through the startup-sequence initialization, and include the lines newcli endcli This will open CLI 2, then terminate CLI 1. You _can_ change the default size of NewCLI windows, if you have FileZap (DL2 "fileza.exe"), or equivalent. The area starting at 04B9 is a CON:xx/yy/XX/YY statement, in ascii format. You can change this to make CLIs opened with NewCLI to be wherever you want. Could also "copy newcli to startingcli" to leave the default sizing alone, and run a modified "startingcli" in your startup-sequence.

Matt, I checked my code where I have used a "" menu string, I needed to fill in the fourth position. I used: MENU 4,0,0,"" and it works just fine. I guess you should make sure that the menu-id is 3 and 4 in your case (needing to fill two places) and that the item-id and state is 0 for both. If this doesn't work i'm baffled—which has happened to me more than once on my new machine. Good luck.

James, I got it working now, thanks. The problem was that I failed to disable the selection i.e. MENU 4,0,1,"" Message 13072 explains why that caused a crash (Well, it doesn't really explain but it does show that I'm not the only one to "See the guru" this way.) -Matt
